. A descriptive analysis of Montana's forest resources. Forests and forestry Montana Statistics; Timber Montana Statistics. Figure 11.—This bull eVk is 'part of a large herd that summers in Yellowstone Park and winters on the Gallatin 'National Forest. interdependent. In addition, timber harvesting and attendant roadbuilding raise important but as yet largely unanswered questions as to the net effect, positive or negative, on big game populations. Several studies on this impact are now underway, but until the results are available, decisions as to re- sponses and trade-offs involving wildlife and other resources such as timber will be largely subjective. There is a direct physical relationship between forest lands and fishing waters. Roadbuilding, timber harvesting, and similar activities can disrupt, at least temporarily, fishing waters through physical changes of streams, or through silting that affects spawning or food. Also, streams attract fisher- men whose presence requires that parking and camping facilities be provided. An inventory on National Forests in Montana shows the following acquatic resource: NF land All lands Fish habitat: 13,032 miles 15,000 miles C7,135 fishable) Lakes and impoundments: 128,400 acres 482,000 acres (1,300 in number) 17.
